Blood begets blood
Flay - I will take my pound of flesh.
Strip the skin from your back.
Break your will and break your bones,
break the shell of the man.
Snake coils twist around your chest,
crush the life out of you.
Darkness sweeps throughout your mind,
as the cold becomes you.
Rage, in the depths of our demise.
Break on the waves of your...
Lies will shatter your fragile mind,
shards of bone through your heart.
Obliterate all perception,
descend beyond the black.
Fragile thoughts that twist and writhe,
wrench you free from sanity.
Discard all hope, embrace the night,
as the dark becomes you.
Rage, in the depths of our demise.
Break on the waves of your lies.
Release the souls of man.
Release the souls of man.
Feel the blood, spilling free. Sever
the chains, set yourself free.

Mortem
Blood on my hands.
I'm going under, I'm falling in.
Shadows unite.
Arise in darkness, destroy all that which lies within.
Mortem vitae.
Clutch at the end of the world.
Mortem vitae, mortem vitae sequens.
Mortem vitae.
Clutch at the end of the world.
Mortem vitae sequence, yeah -
Death follows life.
Search for the exit to escape the confines of this life.
Reject the light.
Embrace the darkness, let in consume and swallow you whole.
Mortem vitae.
Clutch at the end of the world.
Mortem vitae, mortem vitae sequens.
Mortem vitae.
Clutch at the end of the world.
Mortem vitae sequence - death follows life.
Betray - bury me deep in the earth.
Betray - bury me deep in the earth.
Betray - bury me deep in the earth.
Betray - bury me deep in the - under six inches of filth,
smothered in rotting death and holding my breath.
Bleeding and broken and cold.
Clutch at the end of the world, tattered and torn.
Under six inches of filth,
smothered in rotting death and holding my breath.
Bleeding and broken and cold. Clutch at the end of the world, tattered and torn.
Under six inches of filth,
smothered in rotting death and holding my breath.
Bleeding and broken and cold, clutch at the end of the world -
Tattered and torn. Bleeding once more.
Broken and cold. Swallowed by death.
Under six inches of filth,
smothered in rotting death and holding my breath.
Bleeding and broken and cold, clutch at the end of the world, tattered and torn.
Under six inches of filth,
smothered in rotting death and holding my breath.
Bleeding and broken and cold, clutch at the end of the world -
Tattered and torn. Bleeding once more. Broken and cold. Swallowed by death..
Under six inches of filth, smothered in rotting death and...

Rupture the Mask

Rupture the mask
Smoke and mirrors.
Show your face in another way
hide your darkness in plain sight.
Betray the senses, manipulate the sights and sounds.
Reality will be torn down.
Distortion, destruction, eliminate the truth you find.
In darkness, in shadow, manifesting demons.
They twist, they change, they never take their shape in sight.
They drift, exchange, the monsters in the night hide.
Smoke and mirrors.
Darkness dwells beneath the mask,
twist the demons out of sight.
Disguise and intrigue.
Mystery abounds in the changing light,
with a slight of hand, you lose all sight.
Distortion, destruction, eliminate the truth you find.
In darkness, in shadow, manifesting demons.
They twist, they change, they never take their shape in sight.
They drift, exchange, the monsters in the night hide.
Smoke and mirrors, monsters prowl beneath the veil,
kept at bay by force of will.
Caged potential.
Release the beast into the fray,
become the thing that you revere.

Orchard of Corpses

Orchard of Corpses.
Feather, flag, cross; fall to earth.
Tatter the faith, blood bourne to ground.
Bones, burnt, broken, litter the grove.
Only death remains, in the orchard of corpses.
Eyes of the crow fall on darkened day,
Reflect the deeds of deadly ways.
Bringers of death have cursed the land.
To blood and fire, unholy hands
Race, religion, creed, all descend to mud.
Bound by root and rot, blood bourne to ground.
Eyes of the crow fall on darkened day.
Reflect the deeds of deadly ways.
Bringers of death have cursed the land.
To blood and fire, unholy hands
Tear the banner down, shatter the crown,
lay armour down. You were dead before you
flayed your life away, a life betrayed,
a life forsaken - find your way back here.
Eyes of the crow fall on darkened day.
Reflect the deeds of deadly ways.
Tears, they fall as rain, sky weeps in pain,
the clouds draw near - darkness choking.
Rain, to drown the pain, sorrow will wane,
as memory fades - wash the ashes from your eyes.
Burn it down, curse it all.
burn it down, curse it all.

All Hail the Crimson King.
His madness has run free,
darkness’ reign felt throughout the land.
Eyes burn bright red with ire,
total destruction, his sole desire.
Across the desert, fled the man in black.
The gunslinger followed, close at his back.
Relentless, unbowed. Knight of old, standing proud.
For Gilead, and the Eld, the white, the rose.
The white will rise and smite the Crimson King.
Eternity outside of everything.
Threw his wrath at all creation,
to break the beams and feed the breakers.
Obsession becomes a cage,
imprisoned near and yet so far.
Ka will play it’s wicked game, the wheel still turns
the world moves on.
Across the desert, fled the man in black.
The gunslinger followed, close at his back.
Relentless, unbowed. Knight of old, standing proud.
For Gilead, and the Eld, the white, the rose.
The white will rise and smite the Crimson King.
Eternity outside of everything.
Threw his wrath at all creation,
to break the beams and feed the breakers.
Nexus in time. Ka’s wheel will grind.
The balance of existence, held by one, ka-tet’s persistence.
Ghosts drift by, left to die, go then
there are other worlds than these
Across the desert, fled the man in black.
The gunslinger followed, close at his back.
Relentless, unbowed. Knight of old, standing proud.
For Gilead, and the Eld, the white, the rose.
The white will rise and smite the Crimson King.
Eternity outside of everything.
Threw his wrath at all creation,
to break the beams and feed the breakers.

Stack the pyre With the skulls of your enemies
Bathe in the blood of your foes.
Drink from the skulls of your enemies.
Cut the screams out of their throats;
drowning in pleas for their retribution.
Tear through the ranks who oppose,
vanquish the blood of the innocents.
Take back the freedoms of old
restore the pride of an oppressed nation.
Rise to remain. Rise to remain.
Rise to remain. Beat back the evil again.
Beat them with hate in your eyes,
meet them and drive back their lines.
Destroy their will and take their lives,
stack up the funeral pyre.
Rise to remain, strike out with steel and with flame.
Rise to remain, beat back the evil again.
A killing floor littered with bones,
wounded men beg for execution.
Not till their lifeblood runs cold,
will the debt be paid for those who seek it.
The reaper before you decides,
if you remain, or if you're fallen.
Rise to remain. Rise to remain.
Rise to remain. Beat back the evil again.
Beat them with hate in your eyes,
meet them and drive back their lines.
Destroy their will and take their lives,
stack up the funeral pyre.
Rise to remain, strike out with steel and with flame.
Rise to remain, beat back the evil again.
See the wheels of war,
crushing, grinding all.
Bodies, tattered, torn.
Feed the machine once more.
Bathe in the blood of your foes, bathe in the blood of your foes
Rise to remain, strike out with steel and with flame.
Rise to remain, beat back the evil again.
Stack the funeral pyre
Stack the funeral pyre, cleanse them with fire.

Choke
Shake the silence, reap what it sows.
Silent whispers caress your soul.
Mind's destruction shows in your eyes. Barren wasteland that’s left of your life.
I hate you. What you do.
Take my pain, choke on it.
Walking puppet, snake in your mind.
Cast off your strings, set free your life.
Buried in dust, skeletons of time.
Left in shadow, erase your tracks,
I hate you. What you do.
Take my pain, choke on it.
Hurt yourself to be set free.
Hurt yourself to be set free.
Hurt yourself to be set free.
Kill yourself to be set free.
Final thoughts sink deep in your mind. Chains of hatred, gripping too tight.
Throw off the shroud. Shadows of time - darkness so deep it buries your scars.
I hate you, I hate you,
I hate you, I hate you.

Purge the Rot

Purge the Rot
Bleeding, broken deep inside.
Worms burrow at your soul.
Carrion circle cinches round your grave.
The stench of death is all you know.
Poison, coursing through your veins -
Fire, never easing pain.
Hatred burning, napalm scorched mind.
Destroyed, there's nothing left behind.
Torch the fraying ends,
set sanity ablaze.
Burn the threads of life,
extinguish all light.
Fruits of a poison mind,
plant seeds of madness deep inside.
Blackened roots that bind and pierce the flesh.
Infect, with madness, burn to ash.
Torch the fraying ends,
set sanity ablaze.
Burn the threads of life,
extinguish all light.
Purge the rot; purge the rot.
That's where the bodies go
soaked in lime, left to soak,
feeding ground for the crows

ANTITHESIS
Blacken the sun, daylight’s work is done.
Return to mud, now all hope is lost.
Feel the pain of rejection swell again,
forsaken, you are alone
Fall unto your knees
and pray for all you need.
Pledge your sacrifice, bend the knee to me.
Feel the pain of rejection swell again,
forsaken, you are alone.
The hands of the gods, are empty.
The hands of the gods, are…
Dreams that fade to dust,
crumble in your hands.
Ghosts that haunt your thoughts,
misery of your design.
Seek to take control. Grasp for
swinging strings.
Twist into the noose,
the puppet swings again.
Feel the pain of rejection swell again,
forsaken, you are alone..
Close your eyes,
you will see through the light,
you will walk through your life,
once again.
Feel the pain,
as you see your mistakes,
as the picture fades once again…
You can never hold,
you can never return,
you can never repair,
what’s been broken.
As the memories unfold,
all that’s left to behold,
are the scars and the holes,
that you wear…
The hands of the gods, are empty
The hands of the gods, are empty
The hands of the gods, are empty

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 5 fans who also own “Orchard of Corpses”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
